Episode 8
The Chit Chaat ladies continue to explore the evolving identity of Indian Americans with the fabulous 2AverageBrownGirls hosts. In this episode, we share our appreciation for today’s media landscape that has broadened perceptions of the Indian identity to more than just a convenience store owner named Apu (finally). Thanks to storytellers like Mindy Kaling and Aziz Ansari, a unique representation of a ‘brown voice’ has captured the media centerstage. However, their stories still represent only a minority of experiences within today’s Indian American population. Tune in to hear the ladies passionately discuss their desires for the future of ‘brownish’ media.
